However, as a result of previous Landsat 7 hardware failure, Google\u2019s new imagery may include black stripes. While most of these stripes were removed by analyzing many different Landsat images, these interferences are still issues in some areas. Google plans to further improve the imagery with data from the recently launched Landsat 8 satellite.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" align=\"absMiddle\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/Assets\/Image\/FullStoryArrow.png\">&nbsp;Full story<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tags: Landsat, NASA, Google, Satellite Imagery Publication: PCMag.com Publication Date: 06\/27\/2013 The new global view in Maps and Earth.
